Introduction
As a standalone device, your radio functions as a DAB,
DAB+ and AM/FM receiver, as well as an iPod/iPhone
docking station and alarm clock.
Connected to a wireless broadband network, your radio
can receive thousands of internet radio stations and
podcasts from around the globe, as well as providing
access to customized stations based on your own
ratings and recommendations via Last.fm.
On the same wireless network as your computer, your
radio can also act as a remote streaming device for
your music collection. You can also use Frontier Silicon
internet radio portal from your computer to tailor the
content received by your radio.
